I find that hard to believe. I am told that most Thais want to learn American English. I have been begged to work at several schools and the biggest complaint of the administrator is that they can't understand a word the Brits, Irish, Scottish, Ausies, South Africans, etc

I take it you understand bullshit as that is what i am getting from you.Schools dont beg.Where I work we have many teachers but you can be sure the Americans are out of the window within months because of their total lack of confidence,if you need some tips dont be shy

I always snigger when Americans pronounce words exactly how they are spelt.
If you are ever bored in a pub ask ask an American how he will pronounce "buoy" (one of those "bouyant" plastic things you can tie boats to).

Worcestershire Sauce is another good one
